Maria_Faustina Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 JMJFC+ Of course we all know that one should never "pick" an order simply because of a beautiful habit or a lack-thereof plainer one, but with all the talk on VS recently about being "shallow" in regard to habits, I thought I'd go along with it...but only for good reasons. Religious in blue habits have always drawn me to them--perhaps because they remind me of Mary! If I know nothing else about an order, but they wear blue, I'm fascinated already. (This isn't to say other orders don't have awesome habits as well...the order I'm, God willing, entering soon wears every color farthest from colorful!) You just never know where someone will find out about the order they're supposed to...so hopefully this will at least bring some new orders to mind for some discerners out there. And please add any I left off, since I'm sure I didn't find them all--especially male religious orders. I don't know about many of those, since, obviously, I've never discerned with such! Here we go...

rosamundi Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) The CMRI Sisters are not in communion with Rome. The [url="http://www.sistersofmarymotherofthechurch.org/"]Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Church[/url] are a group that left that community in order to be received back in communion.

agnes88 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I was going to name the Trinitarians, too. Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate. I think the friars wear gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Mother Teresa's order wear white and blue. When I was a kid the Sisters of Charity that taught at our school wore blue and cream, at least the older nuns did. The younger ones started wearing street clothes in the early 70's.

Graciela Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) [url="http://www.monastere-consolation.fr/"]http://www.monastere-consolation.fr/[/url] Les petites soeurs de la consolation du sacre coeur et de la ste-face Full white habits with blue mantles. Non-cloistered contemplatives with Divine office in Latin with gregorian chant (including matins at 1 AM!), Eucharistic adoration and inspiration from Charles de Foucauld. Way cool, IMHO. But you gotta speak French and move to France to join 'em. Edited July 29, 2009 by Graciela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was such a beautiful thing to do Talk about showing appreciation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recordare Virgo Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Please excuse my interrupting this nice thread, but I made my second-ever posting on here before and I see that I'm described as a "lurker," which is kind of creepy. Can someone explain how I can get a nice photo or picture as so many of you have so it can appear on the left under my name. I'm not very computer savvy. Thanks.
